WHY NEW ORLEANS CITY 10 LOGICAL POINT FOR WORLD'S PANAMA EXPOSITION. Its Geographical Position and Many Other Considerations Mark It as Most Suitable Spot for Dedl- ' cation of Great Work. Public sentiment has decided that Jtho completion of the Panama Canal In 1915 shall bo celebrated with a jpreat International Exposition in fwhloh all the nations of the world day participate ; and the question of [ where this Exposition Is to bo hold ( will be settled by Congress at Ita approaching preaching session. New Orleans and San Francisco jare contesting for the honor of holdIng - Ing this Exposition , and both cities have guaranteed Immense sums of money as an evidence of their ability to finance BO great an enterprise. An Exposition worthy of the term ' "World's Fair , " such as Now Orleans proposes to build , will bo a great ed ucational movement. Its success as euch , however , will depend entirely upon the percentage of our popula tion who can secure Its educational Advantages , this in turn , depends up on Its location , as the time In travelIng - Ing to and from the Exposition , and the cost In railroad and Pullman fareb , are the most Important factors. Considering these matters , Now Orleans' claims to being the "Logi cal Point" for this Panama Exposi tion , seem to bo fully substantiated by the following facts : Now Orleans Is 500 miles from the center of population in the United States. San Francisco is 2,500 miles distant therefrom. Within a radius of 500 miles from Now Orleans there are 17,500,000 ( people. Within the same radius from Ban Francisco there ore only 2,000,000. Within a radius of 1,000 miles from New Orleans , there are 05,000,000. Within the same radius from San ( Francisco there are only 6,000,000. At an average of 900 miles from New Orleans , there are 70 of our principal cities with a combined population of 20,000,000. Averaging 800 miles from SanjfJFranclsco there We only 8 large cities , with a com bined population of just 1,000,000. Tlie average distance of all thcsa cities to New Orleans Is 792 miles , to San Francisco 2,407 miles. Over 75 per cent , of the people of tha United States could go to an iExposltlon there at an average ex pense for railroad faro of $12.50 , as against an average of $37.50 to the Pacific Coast ; and for several mil- Jlons of our people , the Pullman ifaro and Dining Car expenses alone , fcor a trip to San Francisco , would amount to moro than all their trans portation expenses for a trip to New Orleans. . This Is an important public ques tion to be settled by Congress at the session which convenes In December. Many of our readers will wish to \ Visit this World's Panama Exposi tion , and If held In New Orleans a great many more could spare the time and money for the trip than could go to San Francisco. There- Tore , we urge our readers to write to the two senators from this State and the congressman from this district , requesting them to support Now Or * loans in the contest The Retort Courteous.

The ' 49 * of Callfor- V nla gold fever fame are passIng - Ing Into history. The epoch of which they are survivors Is closed nnd the last of thorn nro becom ing too feeble to como to the an nual reunion which has ben held in Chicago on "admission day" 'each year for the last twenty years. A notice reluctantly admitting those facts was Issued recently by Secre tary George W. Hotchklss , the young est of the California gold hunters , who at the ago of sovcnty-nlno Is in too feeble health to take charge of a convention. The entire executive committee of the organization ap pointed last year Is either dead or under a temporary disability prevent ing them from serving , and half of the fourteen pioneers who attended last year's meeting have since died. A heroic effort to get trace of all sur Ivlng pioneers In the middle west resulted In the return "not found" of half of the hundred letters sent out by Mr. Hotchklss , and , while ho hopes to find a few ' 49ers for a meeting on "discovery day , " January 18 , the secretary said sadly that In ten years they would all be gone nnd nothing but printed pages could tell of a movement whoso like the world can never see again. "It was a picked lot of young men who reached California In these days , " ho declared. "Only these who had the grit to spend months nt sea or across Indian-Infested plains nnd mountains succeeded In getting there. The people of today do not know how much tholr country owes to the ' 49- ors. They did moro toward the de velopment of the United States than the men who fought in the revolution or any .other single group of men. Most of them were very young. The man among them who was over twon- ty-llvo was rare. And they did not get rich. The men who came after ward on the railways , with capital and improved mining methods , or ( who went Into real estate were the ones who reaped fortunes. The pioneer who got enough for his railway faro nnd $1,000 moro with which to buy a farm considered him self lucky. Thoao who cnmo after ward on the railway wo do not con sider real pioneers. They are not eligible to our society. "Wo were privileged to take part In an epoch of history unllko any thing that had ever gone before , and It Is something whoso llko can never bo seen again. There may be other countries still to bo developed , but there Is no place loft In the world where such a spreading of clvlliznj tlon over an enormous wilderness can take place In so few decades as It did In the western United States. The ' 49ers , ns they went west In their pralrlo schooners , saw miles upon miles of fertile country whose existence had been scarcely known , and they were the most Important factor in developing the entire west. " Puzzle to Trace the Lost Pennies YUH UTTLE SiJR P HILADELPHIA. What becomes of 1 the vast volume of copper pennies that are turned out each year by the government ? They are never called In and redeemed like some kinds of currency and coins , but they seem to disappear as fast as they are stamped and put In circulation. It is unusual If the date on any of the pennies In a man's purse at the end of the day is over ten years back , yet the Philadelphia mint , which coins all the copper pennies , sends out in some years as many as $1,000,000 worth of them to the trade centers 100,000,000 , one-cent pieces. If laid flat , edge to edge , In a row they would reach more than one thousand miles. And still there are some sections of the country where the penny is little known. In many of the mountain districts of the south the "York shilling. " 12V cents , Is still spoken of In trade , but no ono ever hears the one-cent piece mentioned. In many towns In the south and west the tradesmen offer nothing for n penny , a live-cent pur chase is the smallest that can bo made. But of late there have been moro demands for pennies from the west , and the government experts have declared that this Is a sign of increased frugality. In the east , the chief use of the penny , outside of filling the child's bank and buying the dally paper , is for the purchase of chewing gum and one-cent candles. The Increase In the number of penny-ln-the-slot phonographs graphs and moving picture machines In the last few years shows another way to which the public has taken to get rid of Its pennies. Uncle Sam takes In many pennies for stamps nnd post cards , and many of them flow Into the contribution box In the churches and religious societies. But all these ways In which the penny Is put to use does not explain where they eventually go or what makes them disappear In such vast quantities every year. Even the government coinage experts do not give a satisfac tory answer to the problem. Circus Lemonade Tabooed in Kansas pOPEKA , Kan. Dr. S. J. Crumblno , 1 secretary of the Kansas board of health , has put his ofllcial foot Into the mixture always present nt cir cuses , fairs , Fourth of July celebra tions , picnics and other gatherings of a llko nature. This mixture is known as lemonade according to the barker who spiels before the refreshment stands. Generally It Is something that looks a llttlo llko lemonade because there Is a lemon peel In the tub , hut It hasn't the taste of the refreshing beverage mother makes. Since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary , the one chief de light of the small hey and girl and the big boy and his sweetheart has been to drink circus lemonade at the circus or picnic. No one knows who Invented the glad refrain of the lemonade stand ; barker , who In stentorian tones , calls : "Lomo , ' lemo , lemonade , Made in the shade , Stirred with n spade Five cents n big glass ! " These things have been among the sights and sounds of all picnics , cele < bratlons and fairs and circuses slnco Kansas became a stato. But no moro will ono hear these sounds or drink the "lemonade" about Kansas unless the dispenser has real lemonade to sell. The state board of health has put a damper on the nolso of the barker because the board of health has ruled that a tub of water , in which Is put some tartarlc acid and sacchar ine and the peel of a lemon Is not lem onade , but the Imitation article , and cannot bo sold ns the real thing. In Kansas all lemonade offered for sale must bo made from the juice of lemons , water and sugar only. Imita tion lemonade can only be made from citric acid and sugar nnd water. The use of the most common materials for making fake lemonade , tartarlc acid and saccharine , is absolutely prohibit ed In this etato. nni ir i TV * rip * i . TVT -ftr1 n The Lid Put on Tight m New York YORK. Spurred on by Acting NEW Mayor John Purroy Mitchell , Po- llco Commissioner William A. Baker has caused several raids to bo made on the gambling joints of this city , and the lid 1ms been Jammed on so tightly that $1,000,000 of capital In vested In such places is Idle just now , whllo the owners nro wondering "what next ? " Impatient over the voxiug delay - lay , Acting Mayor Mltchel in a letter , following several raids , has put squarely - ly up to Commissioner Baker all re sponsibility for the non-enforcement of laws against gambling and vice. Ho charges the police with being grossly derelict in their duties , and declares that the situation bis secret service men report could not exist without police connivance. There la panic In the ranks of the gamblers ad well as with the police. I Slnco the shooting of Mayor Gnynor placed him at the head of affairs Act ing Mayor Mltchel has received many complaints. Some were appeals from mothers who declared that tholr sons were losing money in gambling places , ami ninny were specific In their char acter. Men from the ofllco of the commis sioners of accounts , the secret service department of the city government , found for Mr. Mltchol the violations of the law. The raids began and keys were soon In the doors of 40 gambling places along the Great Whlto Way be tween Thirty-second and Sixty-ninth streets , and $1,000.000 of Invested cap ital went out of business. The mana gers who were not crating their rou lette wheels , their faro layouts and their Klondyko sots In preparation for the exodus , were mournfully parading the streets In the vicinity of their houses , warning away prospective cus tomers. It was the saddest day the gamblers have known since the Ag- uow-Hart racing bills went Into force. IN SANTO DOMINGO FILIPINO CITY UNLIKE ANY OTH. ER IN ISLANDS. Buildings of Stone and Streets Called and Paved Native Women Lift Their Cogon Grass Hats In Salutation. The capital of our northernmost province , Santo Domingo do Dasco or the Island of LJatnnes , Is an Interesting place. The route of our transport ! HOB a few hours steaming west of the group , passing between them and th Island of Formosa on their way te Nagasaki , yet comparatively few Americans have visited this group ol Islands , " said lr. Louis Ottofy , who has recently returned from this par ! of the archipelago. "Santo Domingo hns a population ol about 2,000 , and Is entirely different from any other town in the Philip pines. In the first place , nil tlu buildings are of stone and white washed. The roofs are mndo of cogoi grass .closely trlmmca so as to af ford no purchase to the severe ty phoons which sweep over the Islands "Tho streeto nro about twelve feel wide , many of them paved with stone Stone walla extend along both sides of the streets their full length , giving them the appearance of lanos. The walls arc about three to llvo foot In holght , broken at Intervals for en > trances to the yards , which In turn nro separated from each other by stone walls. Most of the yards were clean and exceptionally neat and at tractive. "Tho provincial building , prosl- dencla , school house , church and the parochial school are all built of stone , neatly whitewashed , and the grass- covered plaza , fenced ny a low stone wall , was the acme of neatness. "Unlike most Filipino towns , there were no pigs or goats at largo ; they are confined to wullcd-ln sections below - low the level of the streets. I no ticed hut few dogs and they seemed to be well fed. There Is not a silicic Chinaman lu the town ; In fact , for that matter not ono on any of the Islands among a population of about 8,000. There were but five whlto men there , the priest , who had been there for 27 yearn ; the governor , who I was told Is a Spaniard ; two Span- lards who are cattle buyers , and ono American connected with the bureau of public works. "There Is not a single store on the town. The solo industry Is the rais ing of cattle , which are called for by steamers from Aparrl or Manila. When one of the steamers anchor ? there the cattle are paid for In cash , ranging from $15 to $40 a head. Some of the residents then take the steam er for the first port on the Island of Luzon , bring some onions and garlic with them and do the purchasing fo ? themselves and their friends. "Tho women wear a peculiar head' dress made of cogon grass to protect them from the sun and rain and with out ono exception each ono lifted It In salutation. For three months of thoyear * the islands are typhooni swept and no steamer can approach them , and nt other times , though a , regular mall service Is now estab lished , they are shut off from outside contact. " Manila Times. Children's Shoes. Children are often made uncomfort able by being obliged to wear shoes that are either too largo or too small. The mistake Is made In buying. An experienced shoo man who had made children's shoes a special study ad vises that the child wear thick stockIngs - Ings when trying on shoes. In many cases the child will wear his "best" hose , which are thinner than those for every day , and then the now shoes will bo a trlllo too tight when worn with the thicker pair. Buy as good leather as you can afford , but It Is not wlso to buy the most expcnslvo shoes , for the child may outgrow them. The shoo dealer above quoted says that a shoo with a wide , flat , low heel Is better for a child than the hcelless shoo , since children usually put the heel of the foot clown hcavfly when walking.'reach chil dren to take care of tholr shoes When the shoes have been wet they should bo wiped dry , stuffed with paper to hold their shape , put In a warm place and rubbed with vaseline to keep the leather soft. Stage Fright. The curtain rose for the first act of "Thrilling Dangers , " a three-act drama , which was about to be pro duced before a large audience In ono of Manayunk's small theaters. "Now , Swlfty , " said the stage man ager to a keen and ardent young ama teur , "It Is your turn to go on the stage. All you have to say when the pistol Is Hred by the villain , is 'Hark , 'tis the pistol. ' You have no other worda at all. Now , my boy , do your self proud. " With these words from the stngo manager "Swlfty" stalked toward the stngo. Likewise , the villain entered. "Swlfty" stood In the wings petri fied with stngo fright. The sharp and constrained crash of a pistol shot snioto upon his ears. "Good heavens ! " ho cried , rushing ou the stngo. "what's that ? " Getting Down to Business. "They say every man baa hli price. " "Yes , I've heard so. " "You have yours ? " "I suppose so. " "What Is your price ? " "How much have you got ? " NEBRASKA IN BRIEF , Newn Notes of Interest From Varloui Sections.
